For 3 years now, Ukraine has been resisting Russian aggression, and thanks to the help of partners, it has been able to keep the economy from collapsing.

For 3 years now, the Russian Federation has been engaged in a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, destroying hundreds of cities and villages and killing hundreds of thousands of people. However, thanks to the unity of Ukrainians, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to hold off the offensive and even push back Russian troops from the main regional centers.

According to the UN, 12,456 civilians have been killed in the war, but this figure does not include those killed in the occupied territories, which could exceed 100,000, especially given the massive casualties in Mariupol during the bombing of the city. At the same time, Ukraine's population has decreased by 25% or 10 million people since 2022 due to citizens leaving the country, most of whom will never return.

President Zelenskyy reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 45,100 people killed, and the number of wounded is 390,000 cases, which exceeds the number of wounded people, since one person could have received several wounds.

Despite the loss of 10 GW of electricity generation due to missile attacks, Ukraine's economy continues to operate thanks to the active assistance of Western partners, who, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy of Germany, have allocated about 267 billion euros to Ukraine over the past 3 years. Of this, 49% or €130 billion went to military assistance, 44% or €118 billion to financial assistance, and 7% or €19 billion to humanitarian support.

The largest amount of assistance to Ukraine was provided by Europe, which allocated €62 billion in military and €70 billion in financial and humanitarian assistance, while the US provided €64 billion in military and €50 billion in financial and humanitarian assistance.
